Advice on using a "whacker"

[Chrissy K]

Evening

Just a quick one.

I have to compact 100mm MOT.

Do I do it all in one go using a hired plate from HSS, or would you recommend laying down 75mm(ish) compacting that down and then topping it up to 100mm?

Also, would I hire a 58kg one or a 84kg one.

They cost about the same, However I might struggle getting the heavier one out of the car

Thanks

all in one go . small whacker will be ok.

ps you will get a whacker plate cheaper at an independent toll hire company than harvey smith supplies

Most expensive hire shop anywhere, no discount given at my branch in kings lynn,There is alot cheaper value for money hire shops around MSH

I will ring my local hire shop that advertise £15 / day (£7.50 for additional day)......... if it is 58Kg that will be OK for what I need?

if its a little lighter, just give it more up and down passes,100m will compact no problem even with a lighter plate, just increase the passes over it £15 a day is more like it MSH

£15 a day is more like it

Too right. Those national hire shops always want a daft deposit aswel.
I got a mixer, whacker and transformer recently from TP for £40 for the week

You boys should get 50% discount at hss for just asking. If not ask them to do it 'family and friends rate'
